Since the screen number is well-known, we can look up the default
screen on demand. Note that xcb_get_setup() is pretty cheap as it
simply returns a const pointer to pre-allocated data.
At the moment, a platform should provide two output lists - one that
lists all available outputs, and the other one that contains only
enabled outputs. In general, this amounts to some boilerplate code and
forces backends to be implemented in some certain way, which sometimes
is inconvenient, e.g. if an output is disabled or enabled, it will be
simpler if we only change Output::isEnabled(), otherwise we need to
start accounting for corner cases such as the order in which
Output::isEnabled() and Platform::enabledOutputs() are changed, etc.
The Session can be useful not only to the platform backend but also
input backends and for things such as vt switching, etc. Therefore it's
better to have the Application own the Session.
Platform backends are provided as plugins. This is great for
extensibility, but the disadvantages of this design outweigh the
benefits.
The number of backends will be limited, it's safe to say that we will
have to maintain three backends for many years to come - kms/drm,
virtual, and wayland. The plugin system adds unnecessary complexity.
Startup logic is affected too. At the moment, platform backends provide
the session object, which is awkward as it starts adding dependencies
between backends. It will be nicer if the session is created depending
on the loaded session type.
In some cases, wayland code needs to talk to the backend directly, e.g.
for drm leasing, etc. With the plugin architecture it's hard to do that.
Not impossible though, we can approach it as in Qt 6, but it's still
harder than linking the code directly.
Of course, the main disadvantage of shipping backends in a lib is that
you will need to patch kwin if you need a custom platform, however such
cases will be rare.
Despite that disadvantage, I still think that it's a step in the right
direction where the goal is to have multi-purpose backends and other
reusable components of kwin.
The legacy X11 standalone platform is linked directly to kwin_x11
executable, while the remaining backends are linked to libkwin.
The original intention behind creating plugins before the workspace was
to handle the case where kwin_wayland may need to wait until outputs are
available. However, since things have changed a lot in that regard,
plugins can be loaded after the workspace now.
The main benefit behind this is that plugins can be simpler, they won't
need to track when the workspace is created.
On X11, plugins are already loaded after the workspace is instantiated.
This change adjusts the window management abstractions in kwin for the
drm backend providing more than just "desktop" outputs.
Besides that, it has other potential benefits - for example, the
Workspace could start managing allocation of the placeholder output by
itself, thus leading to some simplifications in the drm backend. Another
is that it lets us move wayland code from the drm backend.
We gain nothing with it. XCB setup logic in the Xwayland server has to
be moved to the workspace layer anyway. For example, this move of
responsibilities will be needed to support running more than just one
instance of Xwayland. Architecture-wise, it would be cleaner too.
Unfortunately, it breaks encapsulation of the Application, but this can
be taken care later.
With fractional scaling integer based logical geometry may not match
device pixels. Once we have a floating point base we can fix that. This
also is
important for our X11 scale override, with a scale of 2 we could
get logical sizes with halves.
We already have all input being floating point, this doubles down on it
for all remaining geometry.
- Outputs remain integer to ensure that any screen on the right remains
aligned.
- Placement also remains integer based for now.
- Repainting is untouched as we always expand outwards
(QRectF::toAdjustedRect().
- Decoration is untouched for now
- Rules are integer in the config, but floating in the adjusting/API
This should also be fine.
At some point we'll add a method to snap to the device pixel
grid. Effectively `round(value * dpr) / dpr` though right now things
mostly work.
This also gets rid of a lot of hacks for QRect right and bottom which
are very
confusing.
Parts to watch out in the port are:
QRectF::contains now includes edges
QRectF::right and bottom are now sane so previous hacks have to be
removed
QRectF(QPoint, QPoint) behaves differently for the same reason
QRectF::center too
In test results some adjusted values which are the result of
QRect.center because using QRectF's center should behave the same to the
user.
The Screens object is created by Workspace on X11. This change makes X11
and Wayland behave more similar. As is, the Screens is a helper for
window management code, don't use it in backends. Note that the X11 backend
already uses the Screens, it needs to be addressed individually.
We don't really care about the window showing up until we're calling
showInputPanel, but since Workspace::windowAdded is triggered for any
window that gets added, the test sometimes fails because count() is 2
instead of 1. To avoid that, only create the spy when it's actually
relevant instead of all the way at the start before any other setup is
done.
The IdleDetector is an idle detection helper. Its purpose is to reduce
code duplication in our private KIdleTime plugin and the idle wayland
protocol, and make user activity simulation less error prone.
Firstly we weren't waiting for a signal at all, we are relying on events
being processed externally which is wrong.
Secondly ScreenLocker::KSldApp::self()->lockState() is tri-state;
unlocked, acquiring, locked. This gets compressed to a boolean where
acquiring and locked are the same.
If we run the tests whilst we're still acquiring the lock screen we can
call unlocked before we've finished locking. The greeter might then be
shown afterwards triggering a re-lock. It's a confused state.
Possibility to implement realtime screenedges gestures in scripted effects,
implement it in the windowsaperture show desktop effect.
* Expose registerRealtimeScreenEdge to JavaScript, the callback will be
a JS function.
* Add the concept of freezeInTime() in the animation js bindings,
it will either create an animation frozen at a given time or freeze a running animation
that can be restored and ran to completition at any time
* add an edges property only for showdesktop as it's not directly on the effect configuration
This makes KWin switch to in-tree copy of KWaylandServer codebase.
KWaylandServer namespace has been left as is. It will be addressed later
by renaming classes in order to fit in the KWin namespace.
When we do more color management stuff we'll need it in more places,
making it a hard requirement reduces the amount of needed ifdefs and
should make adding color management features a little simpler.
AbstractOutput is not so Abstract and it's common to avoid the word
"Abstract" in class names as it doesn't contribute any new information.
It also significantly reduces the line width in some places.
Input event flow has been refactored so all input events originate from
input devices.
The X11 backend uses InputRedirection so make it forward events to
relevant input device handlers.
Reduce the code duplication and boilerplate to create and destroy
the test clients by making the related variables class members.
Handle special cases using an extensible flag mechanism.
With this change, the Workspace would provide clientArea() overloads
that take only AbstractOutput and VirtualDesktop. integer ids are
obsolete as they are unstable.
The .clang-format file is based on the one in ECM except the following
style options:
- AlwaysBreakBeforeMultilineStrings
- BinPackArguments
- BinPackParameters
- ColumnLimit
- BreakBeforeBraces
- KeepEmptyLinesAtTheStartOfBlocks
These are two conceptually different tasks that were intertwined.
On it's own it doesn't accomplish anything but is an important refactor
for longer term goals, namely:
- moving xwayland into kwin_wayland_wrapper with our wayland restart
handling support
- having multiple X connections
Behaviour should be the same.
[6/6] Make autotests create fake input devices
This test was the only one where input() could return a nullptr. With
this test removed, autotests can now expect input() to always return a
sane valid value and are therefor simpler to write.
That test belongs in kwayland-server anyway and kwayland-server's test
suite already tests that starting without XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is a no-no
thing
[5/6] Make autotests create fake input devices
Migrate all input simulation functions from kwinApp()->platform()->...
to the their counter part in the Test namespace.
[4/6] Make autotests create fake input devices
This translates all required input simulating methods from
kwinApp()->platform()->... to seperate functions in the Test namespace.
[3/6] Make autotests create fake input devices
This commit adds back all three VirtualInputDevices for simulating
keyboard, touch and pointer input events from autotests.
[1/6] Make autotests create fake input devices
The goal of this patch set is simulating user input in unit tests via
InputDevices and no longer use the Platform to fake input. This matches
more closely with how input is processed when running a full plasma
wayland session, i.e. with the DRM and libinput backends.
This ensures that we get a warning if the config header is not included
instead of compiling the code as if it was disabled. Interestingly, some
checks already used #if KWIN_BUILD_*, so those were generating -Wundef
warnings when the feature is disabled. Commit 886173cab assumed that all
those features were already 01, so this unbreaks the build if any of the
features is disabled.
Fixes: 886173cab ("Reduce ifdefs in Workspace::supportInformation()")
It's leftover after the times when widget style was using wayland
connection. Breeze had to destroy all wayland resources before
terminating the internal connection.
Xcursor loading code has hardcoded search paths, in order to take into
account distros installing app data in a different location,
libwayland-cursor sets the ICONDIR to the icon directory computed based
on the install prefix.
However, that won't work with gitlab CI because it relocates binaries. A
more robust way to find cursors would be to use QStandardPaths to find
all the icon directories on the system.
Another advantage of using own cursor loading code is that it allows us
to reuse cursor images that are symlinks. For example, with
breeze_cursors, almost half of the files in the cursors directory are
symlinks.
The main disadvantage of this approach is that we would have to keep the
search paths up to date. However, on the hand, there are not that many
of them, e.g. ~/.icons, ~/.local/share/icons, /usr/share/icons,
/usr/local/share/icons. The last three are implicitly handled by the
QStandardPaths.
With the xdg_toplevel.configure_bounds support, the compositor is
finally able to tell the client the maximum recommended window size.
That approach allows us to keep the compositor side simple and it
prevents (as long as the app is well behaved) annoying visual glitches
such as mapping window with one size and then quickly resizing it to
the final size.
There are two operations failing currently, so we QEXPECT_FAIL
them for now:
- A new client is not moved to the screen set by the rule
(Wayland only). Affects Apply, Force and Remember
- Disabling and enabling an output will not move the client
to the Forced screen (On X11 and Wayland, BUG:409979)
If the user wants to move a tiled window, but changes their mind and
tiles the window back to the previous position, the geometryRestore()
will be corrupted because initialMoveResizeGeometry() is the same as the
geometry of the window in the tiled mode.
This change fixes tracking of the geometry restore by precomputing the
geometry restore when starting interactive move. That way, if the window
is untiled and tiled again without release left pointer button, the
geometry restore will be set to the correct value in setQuickTileMode().
This change also adjusts the test suite so such a subtle case won't be
broken again without noticing it.
It can also be applied to client-side decorations. As long as the
compositor can ask the client to use some specific decoration mode, the
"no border" property can be set.
If there's only one configure event that changes the position of the
window and it gets acknowledged but no buffer is attached yet, and a new
configure is sent, then the ConfigurePosition flag won't be inherited
by the new configure event and the window will be misplaced.
In order to fix that, this change makes XdgSurfaceClient pop the last
acknowledged configure event from the m_configureEvents list only when
it's about to be applied for sure.
BUG: 448856
Historically, noBorder() was used for two things:
* as a substitute for AbstractClient::isDecorated()
* to determine whether the AbstractClient should have a decoration
With async decoration updates refactoring, a few things around
noBorder() have changed, which exposed an existing bug in the handling
of borderless maximized windows.
It's possible to have a case where an initially maximized window makes
an xdg_toplevel.set_maximized request before the initial commit, but
creates the decoration object after the initial commit.
Since XdgToplevelClient::userCanSetNoBorder() would return false when
maximize() is called in XdgToplevelClient::initialize(), m_userNoBorder
won't be updated and therefore the window can end up having a server
side decoration.
Previously, it wasn't the case because kwin would do nothing if the
decoration is installed and its preferred mode changes after the initial
commit but before the surface is mapped. With async decoration fixes,
kwin would react as expected, which unfortunately has exposed the bug.
The root cause of the problem is the fact that noBorder() is overloaded,
which makes it error-prone.
This patch changes how the noBorder property is treated. Now, it only
indicates whether the compositor wants the window to have no borders. If
noBorder() is true, it means that the compositor doesn't want the window
to have a server-side decoration; on the other hand, if noBorder() is
false, it doesn't imply that the window should have a decoration.
